MAINTENANCE
DAILY MAINTENANCE:
1. Remove the clean Pads / Brushes. Never use soiled
Pads / Brushes when cleaning. Replace Pads /
Brushes when they become packed with residue.
2. Remove and clean debris from the float shut-off screen
and Drain Saver located inside the Recovery Tank.
3. Drain and rinse Tanks thoroughly and flush out solution
feed to Scrubdeck.
4. Inspect Vacuum Hose for any objects obstructing the
air flow.
5. Raise Squeegee and wipe Blades with a clean cloth.
Store Squeegee in the raise position to prevent
damage or setting of the Blades.
6. Wipe down machine if needed. Use a non-abrasive,
non-solvent cleaner or a clean damp cloth.
7. Recharge the Batteries if needed.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE:
1. Check Battery water level in each cell of the Batteries
and fill as needed. Always use distilled water to refill
Batteries. Batteries should be filled approximately
3/4'' to 1'' above the plates. Overfilling will cause
the Batteries to leak during charging. The charging
process creates gas bubbles inside the Battery, which
effectively increases the volume of the electrolyte.
2. Clean Battery tops to prevent corrosion.
3. Flip EDGE pads.
4. Drain and rinse tanks thoroughly. To thoroughly flush
out any solution chemicals in solution line valves, refill
Solution Tank with a few gallons of warm, clean water
and run the machine until Tank is empty.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE:
1. Check Scrubhead and Squeegee lifting cables for
wear and spring tension.
2. Check machine for water leaks and loose nuts and
bolts.
3. Check to see if Battery cables are tightened. Tighten,
if needed, 8-10 ft/lb MAX.
4. Grease caster swivel and Squeegee pivot point.
YEARLY MAINTENANCE:
Call your local dealer for yearly maintenance.
STORING MACHINE:
1. Be sure to flush the tanks out completely. To
thoroughly flush out any solution chemicals in solution
line and valves, refill Solution Tank with a few gallons
of warm clean water and run machine until Tank is
empty.
2. Open the Recovery Tank lid to promote air circulation.
3. Raise Scrubdeck and Squeegee.
CHECKING BATTERY SPECIFIC GRAVITY:
Use a hydrometer to check the Battery specific gravity.
Checking Gravity:

NOTICE
Do not take readings immediately after adding distilled
water. If water and acid are not thoroughly mixed, the
reading may not be accurate.
Check the hydrometer against this chart

NOTICE
If the readings are taken when the battery electrolyte
is any temperature other than 80
°
F(27
°
C), the reading
must be temperature corrected. To find the corrected
specific gravity reading when the temperature of the
battery electrolyte is other than 80
°
F(27

C): add (+) to
the specific gravity reading 0.004 (4 points), for each
10
